Questions Covered:

04:29 – How Does the Vatican Approve Miracles?
14:30 – I have a lot of Protestant friends who ask me a lot about Mary. I am curious now, why do we venerate Mary at all? If she was born without original sin, how can she be good? She didn’t have the option to be sinful, because she was born without sin. So shouldn’t we venerate saints to a higher degree than her because they had the choice to be sinful and they didn’t, which seems like that makes them even better than her? Also, I also was told by a Catholic that God loves Mary more than any other human he created. Is this true?
24:15 – Do you think the miracle of the holy fire that the Orthodox claim at the holy sepulcher is real?
32:48 – My wife and I are Protestants, and I am in OCIA. She is not interested. Do we have to get marriage convalidated in order for me to be received into the Church?
35:03 – Would it be un-Catholic of me to be superstitious about attending an event where I was hospitalized after I’ve gone? This has happened multiple times.
44:20 – How did the name lucifer become a catchall name for the devil since it’s not in scripture?
50:40 – Does practicing craniosacral therapy go against Church teaching?
